Adding a 2nd number to a cell phone
Has anyone added a 2nd number to their cell phone? I came across this from Sideline-Free # and was wondering if it works.

As long as you have data service, any of the IP systems will work.
Skype is the most well known but there are plenty of options: For example, we have a Skype phone number. Works like any other phone number. We can call out and others can call in. Doesn't matter where we are. We've used it around the States, across Europe, the Middle East and India.
Your phone can still be used with it's number and the Skype number. If you need more numbers it can be done.
A different alternative is some phones will accept multiple sim cards each with their own cell company number. These are handy if you travel say between the USA and Europe. You get a USA and a European Sim card and just turn on the one that corresponds to your location. It's not critical as you can switch out the cards on standard phones but saves the hassle of keeping track of the tiny little cards. You could use these to run a separate personal and work phone but really more complication than just getting an IP number.
